Aircraft Spruce Rod?

[I Dig U DIg]

About a year ago i bought some tubing and cant remember the size. Can somebody please tell me which product number to get. I now need to make a short rod for the excal, for scuba.
If any of you have done this or have pics please post them.
Thank you to all that reply.

Second question what kind of scoop do you use when working underwater?

I use 7/8" aluminum tubing with a .049" wall thickness and it seems to work well. Never bought from Aircraft Spruce, but my local hardware store sells 48" lengths for $8 each. Some people use the slightly thicker walled tubing (I think it's.053) , but I tried one rod that way and felt that the tolerances were too close. A little bit of oxidation or salt corrosion and it might be locked up tight.
